Clunking noise from the rear of the car finally fixed!

I got a clunk this morning leaving the garage and driveway. It happened upon brake application so my first thought was that a control arm bolt or something in the suspension or brakes might be coming loose. It went away after a couple attempts to recreate it. I'll check this trunk hinge stopper first, and by the way the trunk lid is badly misaligned (QC issue) right at the driver side hinge area so I need to look at this anyway. Thanks for the thread.
 
For me after some troubleshooting I figured out for my M3 there was no rattle with the L (larger) seat down. 3” of black electrical tape around the black metal hook did the trick and is not unsightly as it is black as well. Hope this helps.

If you are going to do this, try the Tesa fabric based tape. It doesn’t get gooey in warm temps. It is made to wrap wiring harnesses and keep them from being noisy.
